Even before I became a computer geek for hire something about Computer Geeks in movies bothered me.
I see alot of Macs in movies yet Macs arent as widely used as Windows machines. Of all the people I know who are Mac users only one fully utilizes its potential. The rest are lucky that OSX is built on Linux.
In Die Hard 4 I didnt see any Macs but the Windows machines and servers where easily hacked. There are allot of holes in Windows OS and those holes are regularly taken advantage of by script kiddies and virus writers.
I started using Linux (Ubutnu to be specific) after I became a geek for hire and saw how vulnerable Windows OS is to vicious scripts and viruses, it really is a huge pain in my a$$. With Ubuntu I can navigate both Windows and Mac networks easier then using the native OS system.
There may not be a coherent point to my ramble here but I know this, Windows is wide open and Microsoft knows it, Mac isnt as wide open but it isnt as secure as Mac users think it is, and if Linux ever gets a larger foothold in the computer market we may all be a target to the bored and socially inept geniuses living in their grandparents basements.
Cliff Notes. Windows are an invitation for AHoles and Macs are wide open for even Bigger AHoles with more time on their hands. Linux FTMFW!
ETA: I invite all of yall to gripe about computer geeks and computers in general here if for no other purpose then venting.
